A collection of things on men's clothing and culture

Hardware[Store]

Over the next two weeks if you find yourself down in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood for lunch, you might like to stop into the temporary Hardware[Store] on Occidental Avenue – it is not a store in the traditional sense, but is instead an art installation to highlight tools both rare and common.

Run by Olson Kundig Architects, [storefront] has been holding different projects since its opening last December as a record store (and previous to the current installation, it was a mushroom farm).

Part of an artwork display near the front window – the videos were all tool related.

My favorite item was a giant chainsaw displayed as a center piece on a long dining table made from reclaimed wood.
